The daily life of Mrs. Xing of the Red Chamber

Seeing Daiyu's tears streaming down her face, Lin Ruhai panicked for a moment.He didn't bring a handkerchief with him, so he stretched out his arms and wiped Daiyu's tears with his wide sleeves.

Who knew that wiping Daiyu's tears not only did not decrease, but flowed more fiercely.

Lin Ruhai was in a hurry, and the cough that was suppressed desperately could not be suppressed now.Moreover, because I had been suppressing it before, the rebound became more serious now, and I coughed violently one after another.There were drops of cold sweat on his forehead, and his face became even paler.Daiyu saw it, how dare she cry again?He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Lin Ruhai's forehead, sobbing, he said, "Why is father coughing so badly? Didn't Lin Bo say there's nothing serious?"

At this time, the butler also came in.The butler went out earlier to let the father and daughter spend alone for a while, but he heard Lin Ruhai's heart-piercing cough through the door, so he hurried in again.Seeing Lin Ruhai sitting in front of the desk with his body propped up, he was in a hurry, "Oh my lord, why are you sitting up? The doctor has repeatedly told you to lie down on the bed and rest, but you still hold on so hard. Do you still want this body?"

While speaking, he helped Lin Ruhai to lie down on the bed in the inner room.This time, Lin Ruhai was not stiff. It took him a while to choose and change clothes, and he sat at the desk and waited for Daiyu. When Daiyu came, his mood became more violent. I'm tired and I can't hold it anymore.Then follow the hand of the housekeeper back to the bed and lie down.

Daiyu looked at her father's tired face, which her son couldn't hide for a while, and her heart was flustered, but she didn't dare to cry anymore.After waiting for Lin Ruhai to lie down, Daiyu stepped forward to cover him with a lake-blue brocade quilt.Only then did he hold back his tears, choked up and said, "Father is already like this, why bother to hide it from me?"

Before Lin Ruhai could answer, the housekeeper answered first: "Miss, I don't know, the master has been ill for a while. He didn't even go to the yamen these days. The master was in poor health, and he was thinking about the girl. During the time I wrote to the capital, the master was looking forward to and worrying every day, and now his body is getting thinner and thinner."

Unlike Lin Shen, Lin Ruhai was obviously more important in the heart of the chief housekeeper, Lin Cheng.He told Lin Ruhai's physical condition at once, hoping that Daiyu would comfort Lin Ruhai a little bit.As for the others, I can't take care of them for the time being.

Seeing this, Lin Ruhai had no choice but to wave his hand and tell the butler to go out.Then he said: "Nurse Wang has told me about your stay in Rongguo Mansion. My father originally thought that Rongguo Mansion was your maternal ancestral home, so he would take good care of you and promise you a certain amount of benefits. , you will have someone to rely on in the future. Now it seems that it is not enough. I can still treat you like that, if I leave, you may be swallowed by those people!" After speaking, there was another violent cough.

Daiyu patted Lin Ruhai to cheer him up. After a while, Lin Ruhai calmed down, and continued: "That's why I brought you back from Jia's house in such a hurry. I was afraid that it would be too late to arrange for you. When the time comes, You are afraid that you will be swallowed up by those mercenary relatives. I know my own body, and I will hold on for my Yuer. The doctor has also seen it, and it can be delayed for another year or a half Yes. My father has already taken care of him for you. He is the youngest son of my father's classmate and old friend. During this period, I will make a marriage between you and him, arrange the rest of your life, and my father can close his eyes with peace of mind. "

Daiyu held back her tears and shook her head: "I don't want anyone else, I just want my father to accompany me. Don't want Yu'er. I still need my father to teach me, and there are so many new poems I need to ask my father for advice! God Who else cares about me and loves me more than my father? I only want my father."

Lin Ruhai stroked Daiyu's head, her eyes were stained with tears.He muttered "silly girl" in his mouth, but he couldn't say anything else.

If he could live, why would he not want to?I have been busy for half my life, but at the end of my life, I realize that there are still many things I want to do but have not done.Daiyu is the only regret in his heart?It's just that the only remaining energy he has now is enough for him to pick one of the most important things to do and arrange the busy work for Daiyu alone.

After chatting like this for a while, Lin Ruhai was so tired that his eyelids fought up and down, and then he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Daiyu also refused to leave, and just watched Lin Ruhai from the sidelines.I haven't seen each other for several years, and when we meet again, it is in such a situation, and Daiyu has also suffered a lot, and she can't bear it.However, Daiyu still stubbornly stayed by Lin Ruhai's side, taking care of her.

Lin Ruhai just took a nap for more than an hour, and when he woke up, his face turned a little bloody and looked better.Naturally, Daiyu couldn't see it anymore, so she made a secret decision in her heart, she couldn't make her father tired, so she couldn't let the family affairs bother her father.

Lin Ruhai took a rest and felt better after waking up.The housekeeper then came in and asked Lin Ruhai: "The elder master and the elder wife of Jia's mansion, together with the second master, have cleaned up and rested for a while. Do you want to see the master now?"

If Jia Lian was the only one who came, it would be okay if Lin Ruhai didn't see each other for two days.However, the Elder Master and Xing Shuang also came, so it was difficult for Lin Ruhai to delay.Furthermore, he was also grateful for Xing Shuang's many times of taking care of Daiyu, and wanted to thank her in person.While Daiyu is still here, I can meet the elder and Xing Shuang.He asked Steward Lin to bring the three of them over.

Lin Ruhai took the opportunity to freshen up a little more, while Daiyu handed over the handkerchief and water, not mentioning her hospitality and consideration.

But Xing Shuang said that Xing Shuang was in the room, holding a gold-plated incense burner with cloisonné enamel in his hand. After looking at it, he had a deeper understanding of the Lin family and a better impression.

Although it is a guest room, it can be seen that a lot of thought has been spent on the furnishings in the room.In the inner room, there is a large red sandalwood bed carved with dragon and phoenix, and a set of silk brocade quilt twisted with gold and silver silk is spread on it.Not far away, there is a golden standing screen made of lotus leaves and herons, with a large lotus leaf-style pastel peony pattern porcelain vase, inside which are inserted several newly picked plum blossoms, which are inserted in a patchwork manner.It made people feel a little better just looking at it for no reason.

After freshening up, another well-dressed girl brought refreshments, and there was a set of Hetian Baiyu tea set in the tea tray carved with red lacquer crabapple flowers.After the things were put away, he didn't say much, and waited in a respectful manner.The master never speaks casually unless ordered, it is very polite.Looking at the Lin family like this, Xing Shuang couldn't help but lament the rules of the Lin family.

Unlike the Jia family, even the maids and mother-in-law also wear gold and silver, and silk and satin. The wealth is rich, but it is full of the aura of nouveau riche.Not as noble and polite as the Lin family.Furthermore, the servants of the Lin family are well-mannered and don't interrupt casually.But everyone in the Jia family has ideas and a temper, not to mention the inferior ones, but to the personal servants of the masters, all of them are called vice-misses, and they are used to being their masters for half the family. .Such as Ping'er, Zicuckoo...

In the name of master's good, many things are done as soon as they want to be done.I usually don't think much of it after seeing it and getting used to it. Now that I'm at the Lin family, Xing Shuang knows the rules of a real big family.After thinking about it carefully, there are many things wrong with Jia's family. They just saw it every day, but they didn't pay much attention to it. Now that they came out and thought about it, they realized that something was wrong.

Xing Shuang sighed with emotion, but the housekeeper over there had already come to pick him up.

When the big steward led people over, only the old man and Xing Shuang came, but Jia Lian was blowing the phoenix for a while at the pier today, coughing a little.It's not easy to come to Lin Ruhai again.Originally, Lin Ruhai was a patient, so what if another patient came to visit?So Jia Lian stayed in his room.

The two entered the door, but Lin Ruhai was still lying on the bed.Hearing the sound, Daiyu helped Lin Ruhai to sit up with the big royal blue satin pillow.When Xing Shuang came over, Daiyu instantly felt as if her heart was at ease.Every time the eldest aunt is there, it seems that nothing is a big deal in the end, and it makes people feel at ease when they look at it.

However, when she turned her head and saw the elder, Daiyu's face twitched a little.In fact, the Elder's face was a little weird, so Daiyu couldn't hold back her expression, but it prevented the elders in the room from being too casual, so she had to restrain herself.

But what happened to the old man's face?

It turned out that when the old man was in the room just now, his precious son scratched Brother Luo when he was playing with him.Although Brother Luo can already walk, but most of the time he still lays in the arms of the old man and asks him to hold him.The old man really loves his little son, and he often carries his son on his shoulders to ride a horse, or carry him around in circles, and sometimes hold him in his arms.Brother Luo was just in his arms.The child didn't have the energy to live in peace, twisting and turning in the old man's arms, and then the tip of his fingernail accidentally ran across the corner of the old man's mouth, leaving a long red scratch.Winding from the corner of the mouth to the back, it twists and turns across a face, and the image is a bit funny.

It is also because the child is young, Xing Shuang seldom cuts the child's nails, the child's nails grow a bit, which leads to such "disasters".

It doesn't hurt, it just looks a little weird.Xing Shuang wanted to laugh when she saw it, and considering the elder's virtue of saving face, she endured it with great difficulty just like Daiyu.Just like this, the elder is still a little angry.Then, when the big housekeeper went to find someone, the old man still refused to come.It's just that Xing Shuang's identity as a female family member made it inconvenient to go to Lin Ruhai's side.It was because there was no hostess who could be called a status in Lin's mansion, and Daiyu was taking care of Lin Ruhai, so he came over to invite the old man and his wife in such a vague way.At this time, if the Elder Master doesn't go, how can Xing Shuang get by alone?

Therefore, Xing Shuang let go of her temper and coaxed the Elder Master a few words, and then coaxed the arrogant Elder Master out.

However, the strange eyes along the way still made the old man a little annoyed.When he arrived at Lin Ruhai's place, he saw Lin Ruhai, and saw Lin Ruhai and Daiyu, the father and daughter, staring at his face in unison, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, with a strange look on his face.The old man was unhappy, and stared at him and said: "Can you still play happily? My son scratched my face. What are you all thinking about?"

The Eldest Master's voice disturbed the originally suffocating atmosphere, and the atmosphere in the room seemed relaxed again...
